Link Reaction

The inner most interior of the mitochondrion is called the:

• Cristae
• Matrix
• Golgi Bodies
• Carbuncles

In the Link Reaction, each pyruvate molecule loses electrons, hydrogen ions, and a carbon, forming an energy-rich molecule of

• Acetyl CoA

• Citrate

• Oxaloacetate

• Malate

The CO2 that is produced immediately before the Krebs cycle comes from

• the removal of a C atom from glucose

• the addition of a C atom to glucose

• the removal of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms from a pyruvate

• the addition of one carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms to a pyruvate

The link reaction takes place in the

• Cytoplasm

• Cristae

• Matrix

• D722

The final products of the link reaction are:

• 1 ATP, 1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NADH

• 1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NADH, 1 CO2

• 1 Pyruvate, 1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NADH, 1 CO2

• 1 ATP, 1 Acetyl CoA, 1 NAD

In the link reaction, the removal of CO2 from pyruvate makes

• NADH

• Glucose

• Acetate

• Acetyl CoA

Acetate + CoA =

• Pyruvate

• CO2

• Acetate CoA

• Acetyl CoA
